WW2 Era peacoat with 8 buttons. This style was issued from the end of WW1 through WW2 and shortly after.
Made from a heavy 32oz kersey, in a deep navy color (looks black unless you're in bright light/direct sun). This was changed to a 80/20 melton after the war.
Features a single vent back, two hand warmer pockets (lined with corduroy, a feature abandoned after the war). Includes the throat latch, (often missing) and has the full heavy rayon lining. Lining does have a minor tear, of which a photo is included. Has 9 of the 10 buttons that it came with. Two have fallen off since I took the photos, they were barely hanging on.
The tag is the typical design used during wartime most likely 1943, and the writing on it indicates a possible '45 issue. There is also a faint but visible stenciling of the sailor's name, same one that 's written on the tag.
Approximate Measurements
armpit to armpit: 22.25"
Sleeve (Shoulder to Cuff): 25.75"
shoulder to shoulder: 20"
length in back (back of the collar to bottom): 32.25"
All measurements were taken with the garment laid out flat. Fits like a 40/42R.
Came across this a while ago. Intended to use it but was relocated to somewhere far too warm, so it's not much use to me.
Asking $300 for it. The 6 button models are a dime a dozen. Actual 32oz with throat latch and corduroy are much harder to come across.
